Uncut but as the film contains no violence, no nudity and little sex beyond that implied by the title and references to sex toys, then the distributors felt that 18 was unnecessarily restrictive. They asked the BBFC to reconsider but the BBFC declined with the following statement:

This determination was formally reconsidered by the BBFC at the request of the submitting company. The BBFC carefully considered the arguments put forward by the submitting company and looked again at the relevant submitted material, but concluded that its original determination was appropriate. The BBFC did, however, amend the consumer advice.

To be released on DVD on 11th June 2007

Thanks to Haydn

The 2007 DVD was cut by the BBFC with the following comment: Cuts required to scenes of animal cruelty (in this case, a snake being struck with a pole).

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to remove explicit sexual detail

• Paint it Yellow
• Colour of Sacrifice

The film was re-edited in 2007 for another cinema release and no cuts were required

The first team of examiners believed that a ‘15’ would be required to cover the violence and theme. This decision was appealed by the distributors who felt that the film’s theme was essentially a patriotic one, intended to educate and entertain young people.

The film was viewed again by a second team that included the Director and Head of Policy who agreed that the contextual and moral tone allowed for a generous interpretation of the Guidelines but that a ‘12A’ could be offered only if cuts were made to the final shoot-out that provided more emphasis on violence and bloody impacts than is usual at that category. The film was subsequently cut for ‘12A’,

Not cut but raised from a cinema 15 to a video 18

• brief Nunchaku usage has been removed

The BBFC cut this film in 2004 with the following explanation: Distributor chose to remove clear and explicit images of sexual activity which could not be exceptionally justified by their context in order to achieve an 18 classification (some explicit images allowed to remain). An uncut R18 was available.

Synopsis: Bruce LaBruce incites us yet again with his latest creation that fuses explicit sex, wild graphics with politics in a very unique visual blend.

The video releases of 1986 & 2005 were not cut by the BBFC

From the Anchor Bay Forum

I have the Umbrella DVD from Australia. This shows the legendary deleted grisly scenes as an extra (rough quality) but even then I do not think they would have been problematic at the BBFC.

Way back in 1983 when Razorback was submitted to the Aus censor board, those scenes were an issue, hence their being cut for a lower rating.

This cut version was granted an 18 cert here. However it is the version that was released world-wide. The only way to see the complete Razorback is via a sell thru PAL tape from Australia with the R+ 18 rating.

• H P Lovecraft's Re-Animator

Submitted in 2001 for a Tartan Video DVD release

The BBFC have waived all 3 previous cuts for violence (saw attack, decapitation and the bloody head being squeezed) but have retained significant cuts to the headless rape sequence. In implementing the cuts required by the BBFC, the distributors have again cut more material than is strictly neccessary.

• The following 28s scene was cut in line with BBFC policy on sexual violence: Megan's reanimated father rips off her blouse as she lies on a table in the lab. Her breasts are exposed, much to the delight of the decapitated head of Dr Hill beside her, who before parting company with his body, indicated that he fancied her. There is then a full length nude shot , complete with pubic hair, as Megan is bound by the wrists and ankles. The BBFC judged that Megan was in a drugged state and that the activity is clearly non-consensual.
• After a short sequence of conversation elsewhere, we return to Megan to find the headless corpse massaging her breasts. Following this, the head is held over her to kiss her ear and breast, leaving blood on the latter. The woman is screaming and clearly suffering sexual violence, whereas the head is clearly deriving sexual pleasure. There is certainly no sense of the assault being enjoyed by the woman here. However, the Board felt that in the scenes of breast or full nudity there was much in the activity to titillate. The cuts were implemented as a 10s cut and then a 1:11s cut allowing some of the intervening material to remain.

The BBFC justified their cuts as follows:

The Board still believes that this scene offers a sexual frisson, in a context of non-consensual assault, that could be harmful to some viewers. Contrary to the suggestion that this scene has received cuts through 'taste' rather than legal considerations, the cuts were in fact required under the terms of the Video Recordings Act, which legally obliges the Board to have special regard "to any harm that may be caused to potential viewers or, through their behaviour, to society as a whole by the manner in which the work deals with... horrific behaviour or incidents... [or] human sexual activity" (VRA Section 4A (1)). Sexual violence is an area of particular concern for the Board, being the one area where a clear link has been drawn, through research, between on-screen depictions of eroticised assault and the behaviour of some viewers. The Board is therefore 'legally' obliged to intervene with any depictions of sexual assault "where the portrayal eroticises or endorses sexual assault" (BBFC Guidelines) because of the 'harm' that might arise from such depictions. Obviously Re-animator will not lead to a spate of attacks on women by decapitated heads but the scene's general association of non-consensual sex with titilatory aspects may be arousing to some individuals and thus be a cause of potential 'harm' within the legal sense.

This time the first and last cuts were waived (the attack with the saw and the bloody head being squeezed). However, the two other previous cuts (to the close shot of the shovel cutting the neck and the sexual attack) were maintained.

The cut to the sexual assault was, however, made differently - and less effectively - by the distributors, who chose to remove the ENTIRE second half of the sequence, rather than simply edit out the unacceptable portions of it. This was in fact the distributor's choice and was not directed by the BBFC.

The 33s cut to the forcible stripping was maintained but this time 1:49s were cut to remove the entire bodiless head sequence (rather than making two separate shorter cuts as happened previously). As a result, this version was cut by a total of 2 minutes 21 seconds. It therefore appeared to have been more heavily cut, even though cuts had in fact been waived! The matter is also slightly further fogged by the fact that this submission was telecined at a completely different speed (slower), making the cuts appear slightly longer than they actually were, but only by about 7 seconds.

The 1985 cinema version was cut by 1:51s as follows

1. 7s is deleted from West's (Jeffrey Coombs) killing of a zombie in the morgue, ie a close-up of a man being run through with a bone saw. is missing to reduce sight of blood flowing down naked body.
2. The decapitation scene loses a 5s close shot of shovel cutting into Dr Hill's neck after his head is bashed from behind. (a long shot also removed voluntarily by the distributors).
3. The headless rape scene offended the censors. It is missing 33s of Megan Halsey (Barbara Crampton) being stripped and having her arms and legs strapped down. Cuts of 19s and then 43s removed all sight of her nude body strapped to trolley and also the Dr Hill's severed head attempting oral sex including the disembodied head sticking its tongue in Megan's ear, kissing her breasts and a shot of the head between her legs.
4. 3s has been deleted from a shot of West's head being squeezed and zombie eyes bleeding.

The subsequent video release in 1986 was similar except that the decapitation was explicitly altered to allow the retention of the long shot of the shovel being pressed into the man's neck. Only the close shot was removed for video, as was originally requested by the BBFC.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to cut shots of clearly unsimulated sexual activity (vaginal penetration by vibrator) to gain an 18 classification. An R18 without cuts was available to the distributor.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to make cuts to sexual detail in order to achieve an 18 category.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to cut sight of liquid resembling semen on woman's face, in order to obtain an '18'

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment:
The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor chose to remove a scene depicting sexual detail (liquid resembling semen on woman's face) to achieve the 18 classification, according to BBFC Guidelines and BBFC Policy. An R18 uncut was available to the distributor. R18s can only be sold in licensed sex shops.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC Comment: Distributor chose to remove sight of explicit oral genital contact to acquire an 18 category, in keeping with BBFC Policy and Guidelines.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment:
The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor was required to remove scenes of unsimulated penetration of the anus and the vagina by a dildo

Pre-cut when (re)submitted in 2007 with the following BBFC comment: An earlier version of this work was submitted to the BBFC and compulsory cuts were required to remove gratuitous and detailed images of a public execution and a violent lynching. These cuts were required...on the grounds that such images may cause harm by encouraging the development of callous attitudes among members of the likely audience.

This earlier version of the work was subsequently withdrawn from the classification process by its distributor. The present version, which has been re-edited throughout, was pre-cut prior to submission to remove those elements to which the BBFC had requested cuts.

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Compulsory. Cuts required to potentially harmful and obscene material (in this case waving a flaming torch over a woman's genital area; extinguishing a large candle by inserting it between a woman's buttocks; and dripping hot wax onto a woman's genitals), on the grounds of potential harm

The BBFC waived previous cuts when submitted in 2006 but the version submitted was a much shorter, TV or toned down version.

• Witness to Reds

Cut when submitted in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The distributor was required to remove two shots of horse falls that were clearly achieved through the use of illegal trip wires.

The AA rated cinema release and CIC video of 1987 were also cut. Presumably the same or similar cuts as the 2007 submission that was cut with the following BBFC comment: Cuts were required to genuine animal cruelty (in this case the cruel tripping of three horses during a battle scene)

• Metamorphosis

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment: The cuts were Cuts for Category. Distributor required to remove all sight of website addresses which occur together with suggestion that goods can be bought from them, which may constitute an offer to supply R18 level material by mail order.

• Remo Unarmed and Dangerous

Cuts were waived when resubmitted in 2005

Cut in 2006 with the following BBFC comment:
The cuts were Compulsory. Cut required to remove a sequence in which the subject of hanging is presented as comedic, fun and risk free, on the grounds of potential harm to the likely audience

Cut when submitted in 2006 with the following BBFC statement: Cut required to remove a sequence in which the subject of hanging is presented as comedic, fun and risk free, on the grounds of potential harm to the likely audience.

The BBFC have incorrectly listed the cuts under the episode, Fake Dad

Thanks to David from www.lyris-lite.net where full details of the cuts are described:

A pre-cut version was submitted with cuts inflicted for TV running time reasons. The entire Hanging Song sequence as illustrated below has been deleted by the BBFC

The American version called Ren & Stimpy Uncut ended up being cut, but the cuts were there by accident because the people mastering the discs used master tapes that had been cut to make room for commercials on American TV. The cuts on the US discs are mainly long-running scenes, not cuts for content.

But the British discs look like they've been made from these already time-cut masters and then had the BBFC's handiwork applied... it's not going to be pleasant.

I've been working with the creator of the show (John Kricfalusi) and the DVD mastering team to identify all of the cuts to the US version to get them all restored for a future Ultimate Ren & Stimpy
DVD box set.

Update: The BBFC have just responded to a fairly lengthy questioning regarding these issues which has been posted on  www.lyris-lite.net

• Vierges et vampires
• Caged Vampires
• Caged Virgins

Review from imdb

Amando de Ossorio-this Portugese director was responsible for several zombie movies in the early 70's. This is another horror picture about undead Templar Knights. Some of the ideas are laughable and the ending is weak. Despite of these faults this film is still entertaining. The plot is interesting, the location sets are nice and there's also a little bit of blood. I love especially the-young-girl-between-the-living-dead sequence. Give this movie a chance.

• Cuts to female nudity and the use of a knife in a ritual sacrifice

Passed uncut for the cinema release

Cut on video since 2001 with the following BBFC statement: Cuts required to cockfighting and a horse fall for 'PG'

Cuts as described by a BBFC examiner:

Take the ‘Rape of Elektor’ sequence we cut from Overfiend 4. This is a scene of sustained anal and oral rape, mutilation and much worse in which the woman is crying repeatedly for the demons to stop. When you show somebody a scene like this there is often very little argument whether we should censor it or not. There may well be an audience which is mature enough to watch this and appreciate and understand the scene in the way the filmmakers intended. But our concern is that this is presented in a very titillating manner which is not appropriate for an audience in their mid-teens. There is no sense of horror or disgust at what the woman is going through; the way it is shot and designed invites the audience to take pleasure from the scene. And scenes like this – multiple rape, gang rape, sexualised violence – are about all we ever cut from anime. If there was a scene like this in a live action film, we would probably hand it over to the police.

• Ninja II

The cinema release was cut by 5:57s in 1983. The video release was cut by (an additional?) 57s in 1986.

• Richie Rich: A Christmas Story

Same cut version for cinema and video

Two shots were cut from the finale of this violent action thriller, in order to remove the presence of the "dreaded" butterfly knife. The cut occurs during the tower fight between Denzel Washington and John Lithgow. The missing shots are as follows - Washington punching Lithgow in the face; and Lithgow pulling out the weapon from his shoe and briefly twirling it.

This John Wayne film was re-released in 2004 by  Delta Music. The video had increased running time but suffered BBFC cuts with the following statement: Compulsory cut required to sight of horse being ridden off cliff .

The same scene was cut from the Classic video release of 2005 (5s) and the WHE International Release of 2006 (4s)

Previous cuts waived when resubmitted in 2001

Cut by the BBFC in 1990

• missing a double ear-clap along with some dialogue and a punch to the groin.

8s cut for cinema and a further 21s for video (18s cut by the distributor)

1. The hand amputation scene in the introduction has been massively reduced
2. The Sheriff twisting the sword in a victim's belly is missing the twist.
3. Dialogue is missing, where a disciple of the Sheriff is lewdly provoking Marian: "I have never seen the breasts of a noble lady before"
4. A sequence where the Sheriff is spreading Marian's legs trying to take her in the wedding scene has been removed.

The BBFC originally cut down the hand amputation for cinema but now feel that they did not cut enough as judged by the number of complaints received from parents. On the video release, they removed all of the build up to the amputation as it was felt that the anticipation of the act causes a lot of the terror. All details of the hand after amputation has also been excised.

Director's cut passed uncut in 2001

Cut by about 40 seconds to achieve a US R rating. The UK adopted this version without further cuts.

• ED 209 shooting the executive loses a 5s shot of him being riddled with bullets, and the whole sequence of him being excessively 'perforated' on the Delta City model
• Murphy shooting a gangster in the leg is originally shown in close-up (1s)
• 20s is lost from Murphy's murder which has been extensively recut: We lose the sight of his bloody stump as he holds it up, (replaced with a shot of Boddicker (Kurtwood Smith)), 1s of the shooting off of his whole arm has been replaced with a shot of a gun, two brief shots of him being riddled with bullets have been cut, as was a sequence (10 secs) where he screams, and Boddicker lights a cigarette.The glorious sequence at the end of the scene(crane shot around to the back of Murhpy's head) has been replaced by several shots of Boddicker and Murphy in close-up.
• High shot lasting 7 seconds at the end were Lewis (Nancy Allen) sits beside what's left of Murphy.
• Boddicker being killed by Robocop loses 2s of front views of blood spurting out of his mouth and neck.

The cuts were waved when the video was resubmitted in 2001

The US R rated version was submitted for a cinema release. The BBFC made 9 cuts to this totalling 36s.

1. During the opening scene showing hookers attacking a man, the stiletto high heel piercing of an eye has been cut
2. Cain shooting a female drug factory worker hiding in his car.
3. Robocop rubbing Duffy's face into broken glass in the games arcade.
4. During the raid on the drug plant a crook is shot by the female police officer. At least 2 bullets hitting him have vanished. In the uncut version Robocop also kills one more man
5. Cain tortures a police officer but we don't see the scalpel piercing his chest and don't hear his cries (a single cut of 12s)
6. In the death sceno of Caine`s girl friend, we don`t see Robocop snapping her neck

The BBFC made a further 4s of cuts for the video release

1. Cuts were inflicted in the first TV commercial showing how to break into a car.

Cuts waived when resubmitted in 2001

Same cuts for cinema and earlier video version from Columbia/TriStar

In the sequence where the cops are approached by the "spatterpunks", one of the splatterpunks has a swinging nunchukas display which is very much curtailed

Cut when submitted in 2008 with the following BBFC comment: The distributor choose to make one cut in order to obtain a '12A' classification. The cut was made to a partially spoken use of strong language. An uncut '15' was available.

• Rocco: Animal Trainer

The title has been changes from Rocco: Animal Trainer

Possibly 4 finger vaginal insertion not cut

BBFC explanation: Two cuts required - one to sight of woman's head forcibly pushed down toilet bowl and flushed within context of sexual degradation scenario and to sight of penis forced into woman's throat with concomitant risk of actual/potential harm

Other hardcore scenes are uncut.

Cut for video by 15s, cert 15, video running time 130:42

The Rock caused grief at the BBFC as follows: Sean Connery was adapting his violent talents to the modern mode, throwing knives, breaking necks and spraying bullets into the feet of opposing soldiers in the action adventure The Rock, which was cut by 15s to preserve its 15 on video. Since violent blows are brief, cuts to remove them can be brief but their excision makes a significant difference, It would be interesting to speculate why screen heroes of the nineties have become so coldly callous. One day, perhaps the question may be answered by social historians, but it is a trend that sits rather oddly with Britain's new culture of compassion.

1. Confrontation in the morgue where John Patric Mason (Sean Connery) knife-throwing into a soldier's neck is totally eliminated, along with the line you must never hesitate.
2. Connery shooting a guard in the foot is trimmed.
3. A 2 second zoom of the above soldier when the generator falls on him after Mason shoots it.
4. Connery breaking a guard's neck loses the sound of the breaking.
5. The gun battle near the end has been trimmed for blood letting, when Major Tom Baxter (David Morse) gets shot in the stomach and General Francis X. Hummel (Ed Harris) receives a hit to his left shoulder.

9:27s pre-cut

Stupid kid climbs in a washing machine and goes for a spin. The BBFC thinks that young children may be stupid enough to copy this antic.

• To get a 'PG' rating in the UK, a scene near the end where the villain gets his hand bitten off by a crocodile was removed.

The same cuts apply to the cinema and video versions. The distributors took the optional cuts to achieve a 15 instead of an uncut 18. All the cuts were for violence.

• A kneecapping by gunshot.
• The sight of blood spurts removed from when "Mac" is shot twice in the chest.
• In the final fight between Jet Li and Russell Wong, a throat punch and kick to back of head have been cut. Also shots of a red hot bowl being kicked onto Jet's chest and the pressing of the bowl onto his hands have been reduced. A close-up shot of Wong digging his fingers into Jet's burned hand wound are gone, along with a head-butt and several kidney punches.

Review from IMDb:

The Prowler is an overlooked horror film from that golden age of slasher films of the late 70s and early 80s. The film is directed by Joseph Zito who has special effects wizard Tom Savini to thank for the film's best scenes.

The Plot of this film is very similar to My Bloody Valentine. We have a brutal act of violence taking place many years ago. We have the first big social event scheduled in several years on the very grounds where the trouble took place. And we have a spooky killer chopping up victims left and right. Only instead of full mining gear, our Prowler is dressed in WWII era military fatigues.

The gore is by far the best thing this film has going for it. There are some DISGUSTING killings which look very much like they could be the real thing. Our killer loves to use his bayonet, a pitchfork, and a sawed-off double barrel shotgun on his victims. Most of the killings in the version I have are not mere snippets of knives piercing flesh. You see the killer slice and penetrate these victims until they aren't breathing any more. There is a tidal wave of blood spilled in this film. They saved the best for last, when we see just what a blast from a shotgun at point blank range can do to someone's face.

The film has some glaring dead spots, too. Character development is nearly non-existent, and the motivation behind the carnage is not defined by any logical means. Let me put it this way; I have absolutely NO IDEA why the killer committed these murders. I wonder if the writers even knew.

Gore fans will definitely need to see the uncut version of this film at some point in their lives. See this film out of a sense of duty, but don't expect a true classic.

From IMDb

The film was heavily cut with edits to the pitchfork murder, shots of throat and head stabbings, and heavy cuts to the shower murder.

Unofficial pre-cuts of 7:00s

All video/DVD/online versions are cut from the US NC-17 version with the following BBFC statement:

A cut was required to a scene in which a teenage girl slits her wrists, on the grounds that the technique used is not widely known and is potentially more likely to result in death than the more common method.

Thanks to Daniel: Rewriting the Rules of Attraction

The video version was cut to remove a shot of Teresa Wayman cutting her wrist lengthwise with a razor because the BBFC considered it instructional depiction of a potentially lethal suicide technique. The shot in question only lasts a few seconds, so the distributor removed it and then slowed down the remaining footage to cover the gap left by the deleted shot and allow the Harry Nillson song Without You to play as it does in the uncut version. As a result the BBFC list a substitution cut of 1 min 34 seconds, the total amount of footage slowed to accommodate the cut.

The BBFC’s intervention did not really lessen the power of this crucial scene, but unfortunately when the film was screened recently on Film Four, whoever prepared the film for broadcast misunderstood the technical aspects of this cut, and instead removed the entire 1 minute 34 seconds the BBFC appeared to mandate deleting the suicide scene in almost its entirety. Accidental though it seems to be, it’ a crippling cut

International Versions

The suicide scene is also cut in the R rated region 1 DVD which ends up being cut more than the UK release as it also missing some sex scenes.

There is an uncut region-free version circulating in Australia available via US Amazon

The suicide scene is on YouTube

It seems that distributors first submitted the R Rated cut then revised their decision, and submitted the NC-17 version.

The original cinema version was uncut at 15. The BBFC then felt this was too lenient and imposed the cuts for the video version & Pay-Per-View version (Front Row TV)

A dare devil escape sequence showing Jackie Chan ducking flying glass from bottles smashed with a bat was cut in fear of imitation of using broken glass as a weapon.

Plus an awful lot of pre-cutting

Same cuts for both cinema and video versions

Unofficial pre-cuts of 11:00s with an additional 2:01s cut by the BBFC

A head butt has been deleted from a fight in a pub
